Most of World War II's key events have been
exhaustively documented and analyzed during the past sixty years,
together with virtually every aspect of the lives and actions of
the political leaders, the generals, and the millions of military
and civilian personnel involved. However, the vital process that
provided the political and strategic framework to enable them to
direct the war-the Allied war summits-has not been considered in
recent times. Comprehensive and authoritative, War Summits charts
the problems and the compromises, the discussions and the
negotiations, the successes and the failures of the U.S., British,
and Soviet allies from 1941 to 1945. David Stone highlights the
sometimes less than altruistic national agendas, the well-founded
doubts and uncertainties, and the recurring suspicions of
Roosevelt, Churchill, and Stalin and their advisers. And Stone
relates the strategic planning process directly to its impact upon
events on the battlefield and, finally, to the way in which the
whole post-1945 world-including the United Nations, the nuclear
dimension, and the impending Cold War was directly shaped by the
war summits process. Political and military historians, political
leaders involved with foreign affairs and strategic planning,
professional military personnel, and general readers of modern
history will find this work of compelling interest. |
